ACADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER The USD Athletic Academic Support Program is designed to promote the academic development of student-athletes. The primary objective is to offer the necessary resources for the academic success of student-athletes as they work to earn their degree. Academic Support Services are designed to enhance the student-athlete's overall collegiate experience and encourage development and attainment of academic and career goals. All USD student-athletes have access to advising, tutoring and mentoring services. The mentoring program, Torero Blue and MenTorero, were redeveloped in 2005 and team a graduate student in the counseling program with an athlete who would like to enhance study skills, learn about campus resources, receive guidance on goal development and attainment, and benefit from guided group study. Student-athletes also have access to a quiet area where they can study orwork in the computer center. In addition, student-athletes are encouraged to utilize the campus learning centers including the Writing, Math and Logic Centers as well as to take advantage of the resources available to them in the Career Center, Counseling Center and Computer Labs.
